TLDR
In this paper, the use of subsurface flow constructed wetlands for treating domestic wastewater in Jordan is described, and the performance of the constructed wetlands as a low-cost technology for domestic wastewater treatment is studied, which shows that there is a strong correlation between BOD, removal efficiency and BOD loading in kg/ha.About:

Effect of temperature, HRT, vegetation and porous media on removal efficiency of pilot-scale horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of temperature, hydraulic residence time (HRT), vegetation type and porous media material and grain size on the performance of horizontal subsurface flow (HSF) constructed wetlands treating wastewater, five pilot-scale units of dimensions 3.m in length and 0.75m in width were operated continuously from January 2004 until January 2006 in parallel experiments.

Plants used in constructed wetlands with horizontal subsurface flow: a review
TL;DR: The comparison of treatment efficiency of vegetated HF CWs and unplanted filters is not unanimous but most studies have shown that systems with plants achieve higher treatment efficiency.

An artificial neural network model and design equations for BOD and COD removal prediction in horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands
TL;DR: In this article, a model was developed based on experimental data from five pilot-scale hydraulic residence time (HRT) units, used in conjunction with artificial neural networks, which can be used in the design of horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands.

Perspectives on sustainable wastewater treatment technologies and reuse options in the urban areas of the Mediterranean region
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss several options to achieve sustainability in wastewater treatment in urban areas of the Mediterranean region, including decentralizing the treatment rather than installing expensive sewer systems that combine and increase the volume of the waste.

Intensified heterotrophic denitrification in constructed wetlands using four solid carbon sources: Denitrification efficiency and bacterial community structure.
TL;DR: Results indicated that newspaper provided significantly higher NO3-N and TN removal efficiency than the other three solid carbon sources in low-temperature condition and both newspaper and wheat straw allowed high NO3--N andTN removal efficiency in high-tem temperature condition.

Functions of Macrophytes in Constructed Wetlands
TL;DR: Macrophytes stabilise the surface of the beds, provide good conditions for physical filtration, prevent vertical flow systems from clogging, insulate against frost during winter, and provide a huge surface area for attached microbial growth.

Nitrogen transformations and loss in flooded soils and sediments
TL;DR: In this paper, a critical review on nitrogen transformations functioning in flooded soils and sediments, and their role in nitrogen loss from the system is presented. But, the review is limited to two processes: ammonification and denitrification.
